There's a magical combination of light and texture in the clouds at sunset during Tucson's monsoon season. The rains have been spotty this summer, leading some to call this our Nonsoon Season. But all good things come to he who waits, and last night as I drove over Gates Pass on my way home, I ...

In the cartoons on Saturday morning, it's the Coyote who chases the Roadrunner, but ends up hungry. "Meep! Meep!" In the desert southwest that's my back yard, I often see both the coyote and the roadrunner within yards of each other, both intent on a meal, but neither hunting the other. The ro...
